We are growing . . . here is proof!

Its Family Picture time again! I can't believe a year has gone by since we last got family pictures done. So much has changed and we are definitely growing! My best friend here in Atlanta took them again this year and I think she did a great job again! These were my favs!

There is also someone I would like to introduce. This little guy will be joining us in late March! We cannot wait to meet this little man! 

Halloween

This year we were the Peter Pan Clan. Meet Tink, Peter and Wendy.

Reese made a perfect little Tinker Bell.

She even won the cutest costume at Trunk or Treat! That little pumpkin was her prize she carried that thing around all night.

 Some little chick came up to me while I was playing with Reese and said "You know Tinker Bell and Wendy aren't friends right? So are you guys friends or not?" It was just kind of funny. The stuff kids think about.

On Halloween night after eating the best soup ever! Christopher took Reese out Trick or Treating. They were cute together, instead of saying trick or treat when people came to the door she would just get kind of shy and say "I'm Tinker Bell" over and over. 

 She is not that into candy yet so Christopher and I capitalize on that eating all of her good stuff!   

In exchange for eating all of her candy we gave her an extra long story time! 

P.S. I love how Christopher will now do anything to show this little chica a good time. I would not have been able to get him in a costume before she came. She pretty much owns him, its sooo adorable!

One Year Older and Oh So Much Wiser

My Baby is 2! She had a great birthday this year filled with all of her favorite things. Here is her day in pictures!

 Mani/pedi the night before her big day! What 2 year old doesn't like to be pampered!

Woke up in the morning and was crowned birthday girl! I decorated her room while she was sleeping she woke up to a floor full of balloons, she loved it!

 Birthday breakfast: "fruit bar and milk" is what she asked for with a side of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse 

 Then it was off to "school" as we like to call it. It is actually a daycare that I work at a few days a week. Her bestie Ella was there which always makes Reese happy!

 A little Gymnastics . . .

 A little Art . . .

 And this chic is ready to head home for some cake, ice cream and Daddy time. 

 Spaghetti for dinner 

 Cake for dessert 

 Presents!

 She got a Rapunzel doll and dress and four pairs of Princess shoes. She spent the rest of the night switching her princess shoes every 5 minutes. And when we realized the dress was not coming off we read stories sang songs and sent Rapunzel to bed. 

This is how I found her when I went to check on her later. Yes, that is her Rapunzel doll underneath of her.

We had such a happy day with her. I can't believe how fast these two years have gone. She is so awesome. Christopher and I still say every night how in love we are with her and how perfect she is to us, like we did the night we held her for the first time in the hospital. Even after the really rough days when she is a little on the freaky side. Its something about putting her to bed that just melts my heart everynight. Maybe its the way she tells me every night without fail "I love you mommy so much" even when I have my freaky days as a mom she still tells me she loves me. How much longer will that last? I hope forever!
